You can certainly do it by yourself at home. It is usually given IM that is you can give it in the upper outer part of your buttocks where you have the muscles or you can give it subcutaneously. SO if you have have some belly fat, you can inject the B12 into the fat folds just like insulin. 4 shots weekly would be more than enough to last you 2-3 years.
